FAQs about selling a business in Adelaide
How can I sell a business in Adelaide?
You can use a business broker, like Benchmark Business, to sell your business in Adelaide. Our team of experienced and specialist brokers can help you market your business and find the perfect buyer without you needing to do anything.
Can you provide business valuations?
We offer business valuations that allow you to see how much your business is worth. These valuations are based on sales-based data, and we can offer guidance on how you could increase the value of your business, too. For more information, contact a business valuer in Adelaide to see what your business is worth.
How long does it take to sell a business in Adelaide?
It can take as little as six months to sell your business in Adelaide, but sometimes, it can take up to a year to sell. The time it takes depends on the type of business, the market, and if there are lots of negotiations between you and potential buyers. Don’t worry; we keep you updated on the progress and time frame.
How do you find buyers for my business?
We use our database of potential buyers, market research, and networking events to help find potential buyers for your business. Our marketing campaigns have a proven track record that ensures we can find potential buyers from across Adelaide rather than relying on one database as other brokers do.
What business details should I share with potential buyers?
We think you should only share details about the business that potential buyers need to know. Legal documents should be available for potential buyers, including permits and licences, contracts, articles of incorporation, and intellectual property registrations. If there is sensitive information that you think potential buyers need to see but are worried about them using or sharing it, you can ask potential buyers to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect you and your business.
Can I change my mind about selling my business?
Yes, you can change your mind if you have not signed a contract with the seller. Whether you need more time to decide or a change in circumstances means you are unable to sell the business, we will handle the situation for you and be available for assistance should you find a better time to sell.
How do you maintain confidentiality throughout the process?
Your confidentiality is our priority; we store all your data securely while we need it. We also recommend using NDAs to ensure confidential information remains private before the business sells. It’s also worth updating your systems throughout your business to keep your information as secure as possible.

How do you determine a fair price for a business?
Our valuers base their price on the current market in Adelaide and the success of the business’ sales. Not only does this help us determine the business’s success, but it is worth it compared to similar companies in the area, so you never pay more than you need to.
What support do you offer during the buying process?
We offer constant support, ensuring you get the right business for you and your budget. Not only do we do due diligence on the business to ensure it’s suitable for purchase, but we can advise you and are available to answer any questions you have. We regularly contact you so you are never left confused in the dark.
How long does it take to buy a business?
It can take at least six months to buy a business in Adelaide, with some clients finding it takes a year for the deal to be closed and the business to be theirs. When we are your brokers, though, we offer an estimated time frame and update you every step of the way.
What are the benefits of buying an established business over starting from scratch?
It can be easier to buy an established business than start one from scratch, especially if the business you are buying is successful. When you buy a successful business, you gain a loyal customer base that will continue to do business with you, ensuring your revenue continues. You also don’t need to spend as much as if you were building the business from scratch, as the buildings, equipment, and staff are already in place.
